ASUS Eee Pad models teased ahead of CES

Images of three upcoming Eee Pad tablets from ASUS have leaked via Techinstyle.tv, possibly in a fashion similar to the controlled “leak” from HTC last week. The images appear to show three different Eee Pad models, each with a 10-inch touchscreen display. While little can actually be gleaned from the photo set, we know at least one model will be powered by Android due to the presence of touch sensitive Android-style menu buttons. This model also appears to have a convertible QWERTY keypad. Another Eee Pad model appears to feature a physical keypad as well. According to previous rumors, one of these tablets should run Windows 7 and sport Intel’s Oak Trail processor, while the other two tablets may run Android atop NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 CPU. Hit the jump for more images of ASUS’ upcoming Eee Pad tablets.

UPDATE: As noted by BGR reader Bob, at least one of ASUS’ tablets will feature a USB 3.0 port, as indicated by the blue strip above the port opening in one of the images seen below.

The iPad is 9.7 inches and I think it’s too big and heavy… Not too bad when using around the house for me… bit its a bit of an annoyance…. I can’t Imagine a full on 10inch screen Plus Bezel . . . that’s too much for me…

Give me 7 maybe 8… I want light weight with a good enough size screen… the 7inch I saw on the Tab screen seems to be a good size.

It looks ugly as fuck. It will give those Blackberry middle management guys a 2 inch stiffy though…

ummmm….. It’s pretty clear to me that this is a tablet/laptop hybrid.

Just a wild idea, but I think that in this case, Asus may have built it so that the display can be removed from the “laptop” portion so that it can be used as a stand-alone tablet. Pretty neat idea if they did.
